BIID and the Body Map

I hypothesise that the difference between non-op and pre- or post-op transsexuals is caused by different degrees of masculinisation or feminisation of the superior parietal lobule.

The trouble is - I have no idea how to test this hypothesis. It fits with everything that we know, but that doesn't mean it's true.

I think it's an incredibly interesting hypothesis... the neuropsych geek inside of me did little cartwheels when she read it. ;D

Not only that, but Zoe alluded to the classic advice given to anyone studying the brain: if you don't know the answer, pick hypothalamus.
